This is a political issue, not a technical one.
Politics matter, this is all about deployment, the only reason I
care about a standards imprimatur is to the extent it helps to
drive deployment.
My advice here is the same I am giving to the RSS/Atom group. Look
to your strongest brands. RSS is a significant brand, but it does
need standards support to improve the spec. It makes sense to borrow
as much as you can from the Atom specsmanship and the RSS legacy
base, but keep the RSS brand.
At this point SPF has established a brand. So has CallerID. Don't
try to remake those brands unless you really have to.
Last time I saw the IETF trying to change a name was SSL to TLS. And
its still SSL as far as everyone is concerned.

In the future, with wide deployment of an SPF-like
Nice to know some things don't change.
Before this turns into a problem that split the ASRG-RMX
mailing list a few
months ago, let's all watch the video from last week again.
And again.
